Just another perfect summer day today
where people shooting other people dead
randomly
Another day
with politicians declaring outrage
or twittering empty, meaningless platitudes
about all that
Just another day
where no serious action or consequence is taken
to make things fundamentally better
Another day
where people’s protest and search for freedom and a better life
leaves them choking from tear gas
or lands them in detention
Just another perfect day
when democracy is drifting, sliding
into autocratic waters
worldwide
Another day
where the powerful do everything
to hang on to their power
and the rich refuse
to share
Its just another day …
… but its a day
where i consider to shut down
to retreat into my own inner world
shut out the noise, the chaos and indifference
of the world out there
Be in Peace with myself
and let the world be what it wants to be
Another day
where i am tempted
not to care
not to feel
not to see
But!
Then it is just another day
where i kick myself in the ass
and again open my eyes wide
to look the world straight in the eye
take it all in
welcome it
feel it
Witness it
Because it is my World
Because it is Me
(… how do you deal with such kind of days?)
